Abstract:Upon Ivey’s return to the University of Memphis, the IFTI team assembled a diverse group of Memphis area female transportation leaders including engineers, accountants, lawyers, and sales managers to explore how best to make an impact. Because Memphis is “North America’s Distribution Center” and over 11 percent of the workforce is associated with the transportation industry, this topic is of interest to many midsouth women professionals. The focus group identified three important elements for successfully impacting the workforce: 1. to educate women on the many aspects of and business roles in the logistics community, 2. to organize mentors by connecting seasoned professionals to future/new participants, and 3. to provide settings for openly and honestly discussing opportunities and challenges.
